1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. In Australia, our much loved

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: David Kosh is stepping down from.

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 2: His years role, going to be the new man.

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: In England, there's a morning breakfast duo called Holly and

5
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: phil Schofield and they host a morning program on British television.

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: We spoke about this on the show yesterday. So the

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: fates of Philip Schofield have have really waxed and waned.

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: I think they've waned more than waxed in recent weeks.

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: Just to tell you the story so far. Philip decided

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: to step down from the show when it was revealed.

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: First of all, let's just say he was married for

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: a number of years thirty years. He comes out as

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: gay on the show and his co host Holly says,

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: isn't that wonderful? You're so brave watching this? Isn't he brave?

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: And that's fine. They lost no viewership through that because

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: people supported him and his decision to live his authentic self.

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: There are now rumors that maybe he was forced to

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: do that because they were going to out the fact

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: that he was having an affair with a male staff member.

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: He has said that.

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: A younger man a lot younger man.

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: That's right, and the male staff member he met. When

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 1: the younger man was fifteen, phil got him a job

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: on the show. He claims, however, he didn't have a

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: sexual relationship with him until the man was twenty. He said,

26
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: there was no grooming, there was nothing illegal. It might

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: have been inappropriate, yes, I accept that, but it was

28
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: not illegal. In the meantime, the fact that he's had

29
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 1: this relationship with this staff member, this young man, seems

30
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: to have thrown everyone into a huge tears at the

31
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: same time, and I think this is what's muddying the waters.

32
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: Philip's brother was in court and has been charged as

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: a sex of a child sex offender and is in prison.

34
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: Philip has said Philip appeared went to the court every

35
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: day while his brother was there. But he says, I

36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: feel like I don't have a brother this ruling. When

37
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: I found out what he did, he's no longer a

38
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: brother to me. And he didn't tell his co host

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: about this. Well, that's not the rumor. I don't know.

40
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: Their friendship started to they were slightly estranged and was

41
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: getting very uncomfortable. Then with this story came out that

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: he was having an affair with this younger man, all

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 1: hell broke loose. He resigned from the job on Breakfast TV.

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: He also was asked to leave by the entire network.

45
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: He was also going to host other shows. They've said no.

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: He was sacked by his management team because he told lies.

47
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: They must have asked him to his face, did you

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: have an affair with this man? And he said no.

49
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: Today is the first and he did an interview on

50
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: the weekend saying he's actually pretty much suicidal. He's lost

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: everything and if his daughters weren't supporting him, he would

52
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: have killed himself. So that's made everyone think, or a

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: couple of people have come out and said, well, unless

54
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: the young man himself said he was groomed and the

55
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: sex occurred illegally when he was under age. So he

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: hasn't said anything. No, he has said nothing. What more

57
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: is there to this story? This morning or overnight, Holly,

58
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: his co host, has made an impassioned plea to the audience,

59
00:02:58,360 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: and it went a little bit like.

60
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: This, Hi beer, good morning, Josie, thank you for being here,

61
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: thank you right deep breath? Firstly a year okay, I hope.

62
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: So it feels very strange, indeed, sitting here without phil

63
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: and I imagine that you might have been feeling a

64
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: lot like I have, shaken, troubled, let down, worried for

65
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: the wellbeing of people on all sides of what's been

66
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: going on, and full of questions. You, me, and all

67
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: of us at this morning gave our love and support

68
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: to someone who was not telling the truth, who acted

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: in a way that they themselves felt though they had

70
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: to resign from ITV and step down from a career

71
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: that they loved. That is a lot to process, and

72
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: it's equally hard to see the toll that it's taken

73
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: on their own mental health. I think what unites us

74
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: all now is a desire to heal for the health

75
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: and wellbeing of everyone. I hope that as we start

76
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: this new chapter and get back to place of warmth

77
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: and magic that this show holds for all of us,

78
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: we can find strength in each other. And from a heart,

79
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: can I just say thank you for all of your

80
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: kind messages and thank you for being here this morning. Myself,

81
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: Josie Derma, Alison Craig, and every single person that works

82
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,559
Speaker 2: on this show will continue to work hard every single

83
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: day to bring you to this show that we love.

84
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 2: So On that note, Josie, thank you.

85
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: What's going on? If he had an affear, which he's

86
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: admitted to, a consensual, legal, but inappropriate affear, why is

87
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: she saying he lied to us? All? She asked him

88
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: if he was maybe, she asked him, might you having

89
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: an affair with this coworker? He said no. Is that

90
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: a reason for them all to act like he is

91
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: his brother? Is it more to this story? Because unless

92
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: that young man himself says I was groomed, this is

93
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: such an overreaction. What do you think?

94
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: Maybe he's a bit of a dick at work and

95
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: I just wanted to get rid of him.

96
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: Well, then that's a different thing too, But to make

97
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: it he lied to us? Therefore, are you saying to

98
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: the audience are you okay? Like they've been like this

99
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: has happened in their own lives. I think I'm going

100
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: to be okay. I think I'm going to be okay.

101
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: I think the audience is actually okay, okay, okay. Jim

102
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: y Rye, are you okay? That's completely about something else?

103
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: An intriguing case. If Moore comes to hand, we'll let

104
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: you know
